A letter from The Leader | (Nov. 23, 2010) — Dear valued reader,

Robotic garbage pickup coming to Rutherford? | By Susan C. Moeller / Senior Reporter
RUTHERFORD (Nov. 18, 2010) — For Rutherford, 2010 could be remembered as the year of the garbage overhaul.
The borough council decided earlier in the year to reduce its
residential garbage pickup and eliminate commercial service altogether.
Now, a proposal to purchase trucks with robotic arms to pick up and dump
specially designed cans is on the table for the Borough of Trees. Click the READ MORE link below for the complete story. PLUS: To see a video of automated garbage pickup in action, click here.

Lyndhurst trustee shown the door | By Kyle Orlowicz / Reporter
LYNDHURST (Nov. 18, 2010) —
After 20 years of service on the Lyndhurst Library Board of Trustees,
Mayor Richard DiLascio showed Annie Rowe the door last month when he
opted not to reappoint her to her long-held position.
Perhaps it was time for Rowe to move on; however, the longtime public
servant and volunteer said she was not given the opportunity to step
down gracefully. Instead, she was the last to find out of DiLascio’s
decision to replace her and was not even told by the mayor himself. Click the READ MORE link below for the complete story.

ELECTION 2010: Bergen County executive results | 
Photo by James Dombrowski
HASBROUCK HEIGHTS (Nov. 3, 2010) —
Republican Kathleen Donovan beat incumbent Democrat Dennis McNerney on
Tuesday, Nov. 2 in the race for county executive. With 446 out of 553
precincts reporting, Donovan led the vote tally 96,687 to McNerney’s
82,326. All of the results are unofficial. Donovan claimed victory at
the VFW in Hasbrouck Heights on election night. She was surrounded by
her campaign supporters.
The race between McNerney and Donovan was highlighted by debates on
Bergen County’s blue laws, property taxes, the millions of dollars used
to restore Overpeck Park, the future plans for the Meadowlands Sports
Complex and open space. Donovan, a Rutherford resident and current
county clerk, cast McNerney as a product of the Bergen County Democratic
machine. McNerney, in turn, said Donovan was unaware of the intricacies
of being county executive. The two debated at the Williams Center in
Rutherford in early October as part of the ongoing Leader Forum series.
